The mission of God
Unlocking the Bible's grand narrative
Christopher J. H. Wright
In order to understand the Bible, we need an interpretative perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see the ‘big picture’ of God’s mission and how all parts of Scripture fit into its grand narrative.
In this comprehensive and accessible study, Chris Wright begins with the Old Testament understanding of who God is, what he has called his people to be and to do, and where the nations belong within God’s mission. These themes are followed into the New Testament. Throughout, Wright emphasizes that biblically-defined mission is intrinsically holistic. God’s mission is to redeem his whole creation from all that sin and evil have inflicted upon it, and the mission of God's people must reflect the breadth of God's righteous and saving love for all he has made.
